My blog is about my life: marriage, family, friends, food, fun. I'm trying to pull it all together in one place to share with you.

Monday, Monday
My head has a small silver pinball bouncing around inside, with thoughts and ideas that I just can't seem to get on paper. My day started with a "to do" list, and it's a long one! I've tried to make Monday my laundry day, and go from there, but it all gets jumbled up as soon as the sun breaks over the east. My new approach to writing is this: I will celebrate every word I write, but I will not feel guilty if I don't do anything for days. I spent most of last year feeling like I should be writing when instead I was doing chores, or at the school, or playing with the dog, or any other thing that came up. But all of those things were important. I was torn between the gotta do's and the wanna do's. I've heard that writing should be top priority, a gotta do, but that just doesn't feel right to me. My husband and daughter are top priority. Not that the thoughts of writing aren't there in every waking minute, or that I don't constantly find ideas in the mundane parts of my daily life. I just choose to make notes and follow up later, after my priorities are taken care of. So now, I look at differently. I will write - I know that. I will waste time when I could be writing. I will also wake up and grab my notebook, quickly putting down the thoughts that woke me up. And I will celebrate every word.
